They added the plaza🙃 and next year we get a hotel.

But yeah, it's new stuff but has all been basically a replacement not expansion. Hopefully they will do a real expansion soon.

As is, I have no idea what Fan Fest will have to talk about

I'm hopeful they will cover have a one more thing about daredevils pass for fan fest. Like a flat ride or restaurant that will be on the pass.

I think more likely they will share a little more of MME, and talk mostly about food, merch, and festivals. Maybe a little about the new parade.

With daredevil pass it feels like they are locking in to the current park footprint and not leaving much space for future growth. Maybe there will be more space than I think but with MME nestled between AP, Powderkeg,wildfire. It feels like they've blocked that area from going farther into the woods for expansion.

Maybe they will be relocating all the maintenance/back of house stuff that's right outside the fire district and could then use that space and possibly connect to somewhere by outlaw run.

So here's my crazy idea.

In that space add a suspended coaster(bat or owl themed), a trackles shooting ride(stagecoach training), and a couple of flat rides... call it the backwoods.


Right by FITH add an indoor firehouse kitchen restaurant(with cafeteria style order in a line or food court style(3-4)

I'm really curious if/when the certificates from Fan Fest are going to come into play with this project. I'm not expecting anything huge but I've been curious about it since last fall. Friday can't get here soon enough!

it sure seemed like those certificates are for an early preview ride before the official opening

Thanks for the update and your work on this site!

Have any of you gotten any more info on this yet?

Haven't seen anything new on it.

My most recent survives were both just general how was you visit surveys.

I'm thinking there will be a subtle tease or two at fan fest. Maybe even a hint at the announcement on the 14th

Anyways...

I hope that if there is indeed a path connecting the WF and PK path, they also add in some restrooms in that area, as well as maybe another restaurant and shop in the area. I'm not sure where it'll fit at all, but they would be welcomed additions to the land, especially the restrooms.

Yes! And more than one family restroom at the restroom!

Here's our update from July 24
Obviously we would have posted it sooner but the bots overwhelmed the limited bandwidth of SDCfans yet again

MME is the name.  No I won't spoil it for.  Honestly I'm surprised no one has figured it out yet. 

The candle theory is interesting, but I count three launches.  One into the helix garden.  One down the hill.  One back up the hill.  I just don't see how else the ride will function otherwise. 

Anyone figured out what the big footer is for yet? 😉

Mini miners expedition?
Maramos mine expedition?


Is it a whole "land"? Are the candles and flour included because those shops are moving to the new area?(total speculation on my part)

Will the current site be in a visible archive or will it just be dormant on your server without public access?

I guess in August when SDC makes the announcement you guys will finally see this is not a thrill machine and Insted a Thunderation replacement. But in the meantime believe what you want lol 

The announcement will be in September. If you're going to try to convince people online that you know something, it's best to at least use the correct (already confirmed) dates. 

*IF* I were someone looking for information (like what type of coaster and supplier), *I* would keep an eye on the import lists.  *I* would also keep an eye on the trademark clearing houses if *I* wanted to know what the ride was going to be called.  But that's just *ME*

You have your homework, class dismissed

Checked USPTO, no ride names as of right now, but there are several trademark registrations tied to restaurants and shops, most likely for the resort/hotel.
 

Yesterday was my first visit this year that included a stop at the renovated restrooms by Time Traveller.

I'm a bit disappointed that in a theme park that is supposed to be for families, they didn't seem to prioritize little kids in the bathroom renovation. Particularly with this being the closest restroom to the train, carousel, and treehouse, it seems like a real oversight. None of the urinals are at a kid-friendly height, the sinks and soap dispensers are equally out of reach for kids. All the other bathrooms have at least 1 little kid height urinal.

I already sent a meesage to SDC about it, but wanted to see if anyone else had noticed this or had thoughts on it.

Something I keep thinking about is the new coaster is effectively blocking the main path where SDC could add additional land to the park. I was really hoping part of this 10 years of projects would include an additional "land" out that direction to help increase park capacity. It feels like this will really lock them into more or less the existing foot print meaning that almost all new rides in the future will require replacing an existing one.

I'm thinking it will be mostly demolished, they might leave a few pieces but I think they want that location for something else.

A thought I had today, what if all the mine talk is actually about the mine restaurant being re-opened.


I do see the tnt area being used as space to help with a new entrance. It will likely also help with some back of house space needs as well. Possibly some warehouse/delivery space or bus parking for guest artist tour buses.

I really think the plan was to keep it open till 2028ish but something accelerated that timeline. The comment about it being open at coaster Christmas in 2027 really felt like a that will be the last Christmas for it to be open message.

I was about to post something similar. My window of opportunity is either this Friday or Sun-Mon. Personally I was thinking Monday would be the lightest day to go but with Christmas being on that following Thurs and winter break starting that might be moot, so yeah which day do you guys think would be worse to attend? I know better not to do Sat. Lol

I ended up going on Friday the 19th. The crowd was not bad. I'd guess about 13,000 people for the day. I was surprised it wasn't more crowded. I think it was because it was cooler on Friday and supposed to be a lot nicer this week
